Lymphatic leakage can develop as an iatrogenic complication of thoracic, cardiac, and neck surgery. The management of this complication may be challenging and involves more specialists. Percutaneous, image-guided techniques may offer two advantages: mini-invasivity and ability to image and identify the anatomy and the site of the leakage. We report a case of refractory cervical chylous leakage after thyroidectomy and lymphadenectomy for cancer that was successfully treated with an ultrasound-guided intranodal lymphangiography and a percutaneous puncture of the leak performed using CBCT as imaging guidance.
淋巴漏可作为胸科、心脏和颈部手术的医源性并发症出现。这种并发症的处理可能具有挑战性,且需要更多专科医生参与。经皮影像引导技术可能具有两个优点:微创性以及能够对淋巴漏的解剖结构和部位进行成像和识别。我们报告了1例甲状腺癌切除及淋巴结清扫术后难治性颈部乳糜漏的病例,该病例通过超声引导下的结内淋巴管造影以及使用CBCT作为影像引导对漏口进行经皮穿刺而成功得到治疗。
